I would recommend to leave out the history part (asp classic, ..) - does not really interest me if i want to see decide between webforms and mvc (10 debatable minutes). You are repeating several times that the web form example is simple nothing special (why repeat that statement).
Talking about interactivity i may suggest to ask the audience about their previous knowledge to decide how long you stay on the basic topics (for example i would assume that over 90% knew what a querystring is and know how to get a value from it). You could even poll the audience if you can rush through the basic explanation of WebForms (another 5 to 10 minutes saved).
On around 39 minutes in the video you say that you can controll more with mvc. But i did no see you gave an example or an explanation about that.
On minute 43 you start to talk about the controller and repeat again a lot of statements.
On minute 53 up to minute 59 you name some considerations which can help to decide between WebForms and MVC.
So basically it leaves me with 6 minutes that might help.
Kudos how you handled the guy who wanted to talk about css-styles versus themes.

I agree with someDude not worth listening to. I am glad that I didn't do a trip from Stockholm to listening to something like this ....

So much off topic filler, also repeating sentences more than once gets annoying. Presentation needs to be more focused/meaty to continue to engage interest. I think I could have consumed the worthwhile content in less than 20 minutes.
"I also wasn't expecting a first look at MVC for Webforms developers" and would have loved to hear about performance considerations like the value of not have post back / page life cycle / control tree on CPU, page weight etc....

use of multiple providers together is now available. Here we use the Ext.direct polling to make regular requests to get the server’s time. These requests can be interspersed with those of a remoting provider, which allows both an echo and a multiplication
